The Colts were the Comets first contenders on Cody soil but as both teams rounded the bases it was Northwestern that slid home triumphant, 6-3. Meeting Chadsey next, Cody hurled a one-hitter to bag their first win, 8-I . And Wilbur Wright fell to Comet pitching strategy by the same mark, wit'h an 8-0 score this time. Huskie opposition held Cody down, however, as Redford won a see-saw battle, 3-2. News headlines recounted the stories of the games that followed as Cody ace Walter Bugajski lead the Comet nine to an exciting victory over Mackenzie in a record no-hitter. Again Cody pitching stopped Cooley, 4-2, and handed the league leading Cardinals their hrst shattering defeat in thirty consecutive games. Then after a short slump in non-league play and a loss to Western, the Comets rallied to defeat Southwestern, 8-3, and wind up a successful season.
